Here is the first-ever miniature 3D-printed chocolate, sugar candy and plastic toy 2015 Ford Mustangs. The chocolate 3D printer is an all-new prototype, and the chocolate Mustangs are warmed and finished after for a dark chocolate glow. What kind of 3d printer kit did they use for this? And how is it on gas?

The 3-D printing in Zero-G technology demonstration experiment will show that a 3-D printer can work normally in space. A 3-D printer extrudes streams of heated plastic, metal or other material, building layer on top of layer to create three-dimensional objects. Testing a 3-D printer on the space station is the first step towards establishing […]

At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tibbits and researchers from the firms Stratasys and Autodesk Inc were trying to come up with a way of describing objects they were creating on 3D printers… objects that not only could be printed, but thanks to geometric code, could also later change shape and transform on their own. […]

Today it seems there is another mysterious box that has fascinated the public. This time, the box can generate tangible, three-dimensional objects from nothing. The magic of 3D printing is, however, very real and without artifice. Not unlike “The Turk,” people seem to have become entranced by the possibilities of this technology and what it […]

GIGTANK, located in Chattanooga, TN — one of the strongest manufacturing hubs in the Southeast and the home of America’s fast Internet — GIGTANK brings a wealth of experience in commercial scale manufacturing into the 3D printing arena. Startup teams will enjoy access to Chattanooga’s robust network of industry experts and working facilities as they […]

The London Bike show in February revealed the first 3d-printed bike. Empire bikes in collaboration with Renishaw additive manufacturing was able to completely print and assemble the titanium bike frame making the model significantly lighter and stronger than a comparable aluminum model made from traditional manufacturing processes. The unique structure building capabilities of 3d-printing enabled […]

You may have heard that HP tried to join the 3d-printing game in 2010 when it signed an agreement with Stratasys, which was going to start manufacturing 3d-printers under the HP brand name. However, the agreement fell through in 2012 and was discontinued. Well two years after that failure, HP has come back to say […]

If you pay attention to the major innovation in the 3d-printing industry, its practically guaranteed you have heard of Stratasys. These guys have been around since the dawn of 3d-printing. S. Scott Crump was one of the first innovators of the additive manufacturing technology when he wanted to make a toy frog for his daughter […]

While this video is a good explanation of the 3D Printing technology, it shows us what we’ve been talking about for years. It talks about the 3D Printing marketplaces and the websites for CAD designs. 4 areas of growth in the 3D Printing industry : 1) prototyping. Tangible goods (instead of power point presentations) for […]

Here, our guest was invited by Professor Aart van Bezooyen who heads up MAKE, a platform for materials and technology at Burg-Halle University in Halle near Leipzig, Germany to run a workshop printing paste materials using the DIY 3D printer. The video shows experimentation of 3D printing with locally dug clay, builder’s silicon, wax, sugar […]

My introduction to 3d-printing began when my roommate and I attempted to make a magnetic motor. It didn’t work well, but it would have been impossible without 3d-printed plastic pieces. The problem we actually ran into was the lack of variety with the magnets. We used neodymium rare earth magnets. These are considered the most […]

I remember growing up in an area of Colorado under heavy construction. We constantly had houses being built around the neighborhood and being the danger-ignorant young ones we were, we would constantly go play with all of the materials left over. Thank god for Tetanus shots, because with the number of holes in my feet […]

In Normal 3d Printing, First, the printer prepares the printing chamber. Then, the model is printed by shooting colored glue on layer by layer of plaster powder. When all layers have been printed, the model can be dug out of the printing chamber with the help of a vacuum cleaner that is built into the […]

Here is a quick fun 3D Printing Video which shows a 3D Printed Coffee Cup, being made before your eyes. Enjoy this 3D Printing demonstration and maybe your next cup of coffee will be 3D Printed? Maybe you want to invest in a 3D Printed Startup which makes these?
